BLOG TOUR: Out of Reach by Carrie Arcos

How do you find someone who
doesn’t want to be found? A girl searches for her missing addict brother while
confronting her own secrets in this darkly lyrical novel.

Rachel has always idolized
her older brother Micah. He struggles with addiction, but she tells herself
that he’s in control. And she almost believes it. Until the night that Micah
doesn’t come home.

Rachel’s terrified—and she
can’t help but feel responsible. She should have listened when Micah tried to
confide in her. And she only feels more guilt when she receives an anonymous
note telling her that Micah is nearby and in danger.

With nothing more to go on
than hope and a slim lead, Rachel and Micah’s best friend, Tyler, begin the
search. Along the way, Rachel will be forced to confront her own dark secrets,
her growing attraction to Tyler…and the possibility that Micah may never come
home.

“Micah’s breathing labored as
he carried me. I tried not to move, to make it easier for him, and rested my
head on his shoulder.

‘Thanks for saving my life.’

‘That’s what older brother’s
are for.’

‘If it had been you, I couldn’t
have held on for so long.’ There was no way I could have pulled him out of the
flood.

‘Yeah, I’d probably be dead
by now.’ He tried to laugh, but he couldn’t catch enough breath. ‘Nah, you
would have found a way. If you had the chance, you would have saved me.’”

Angeles with her family. She writes young adult literature and is an adjunct
